Mama Jegede Tribute
Welcome to the page to honour our mother.
The messages below are meant to serve as a blessing to mum and they reflect the scope of her ministry as a woman of God and a sister and mother to many. As her youngest child I have had the privilege of being with my mum in different countries, in different stages of my life and from her younger years to her senior years now. Her earlier, fiery days were full of enthusiasm, laughter, energy and making her mark! She is remembered as a figure who loved and worked passionately in everything she set her hands to. She certainly even shook up a few folks along the way, but as a life-changer it was her destiny to light a fire under the seats of those in her arena.
Mum has been the bond that has kept our family strong from the start. And despite being blessed with a core of 5 outstanding siblings and 2 excellent parents, the Jegede family recognizes Olajumoke as the heart of our home. In her later years, we have seen mum hold on to her passionate spirit and yet adopt an even gentler, guiding hand to welcome so many. She is truly a beautiful, Godly woman inside and out. God wrought a miracle in her back in 2013 and she is a living testimony that nothing is impossible with Him. By her prayers, she has literally saved our lives in ways I cannot measure.
We love you mum, we cherish you, we honour you and we are blessed to have been under your care for all our lives :)
Love and Respect from Seun, Donna and Zoe
And all your children.
Glory be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus!
Olajumoke has been the love of my life since March 1960. I also call her the wife of my love since July 1965. I praise and thank my Father for blessing me with Olajumoke. I am committed by the grace of God to abide in Christ, to love Olajumoke as Christ loved the church and to work with her to carry out our God-given assignment. This is to proclaim the gospel of love, empower with signs and wonders following, preach the life of faith and prepare the body of Christ for His imminent return. Blessed be the lord God who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus.

TO A GREAT MOTHER AT 77
Today, March 22nd, 2018, l am privileged to be part of the activities marking the celebrations of a great wife, mother and grandmother @ 77, Mrs O.A. Jegede, even though l am in Nigeria carrying out my own celebrations.
In the course of my relationship with Mummy, l am bold to say she is a unique figure, kind hearted and compassionate with so much affection towards her children and everyone around her ( I have tactically left out mentioning her husband, Prof R. O. Jegede because its one marital relationship/journey l am still researching on on daily basis ).
No doubt, Mummy Jegede has a large heart. With regards to the children, she’s always available to release herself to the emotional, psychological and economic well-being of the children and this even extends to the larger family and friends.
Mummy has put in so much into the mothering that you see her waging all forms of battles along with the children and taken them over as if they were hers. God has helped her to exhibit the qualities of a virtuous woman as described in Prov 31:10-31 (especially verses 26-29)
Let me close with the 1st stanza of this great hymn
Immortal, invisible, God only wise
In light, inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most gracious, the ancient of days
Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
Happy Birthday my dear Mummy.
Enjoy the attached pictures.

For Grandma on her 77th Birthday
Grandma, I want to wish you a blessed 77th birthday.
You are a very caring, loving and considerate person and I am so proud that you are my grandmother. My parents tell me us all of the wonderful things that you did for us when we were little. You flew all the way from Canada to look after us when we were born. We all appreciate you for this and for so much more. We love looking at the photos we took during your visits to see us in London.
When we came to visit you and Grandpa in 2007, 2008 and 2012, you took very good care of us. You took us to many interesting places and introduced us to many new people. You even held a party for us in your house. You spent lots of time in the kitchen making chicken noodle soup and baking delicious pumpkin pie and banana bread, which we loved very much.
You took us to the park near your old house in Sarnia, where we had a lot of fun. You introduced us to the TV channel ‘Treehouse’, so we were able to catch up on our favourite programmes. You sat with us and watched several episodes of the TV show ‘Arthur’. How many grandmas would do that?!! We remember the bubble baths you gave us and how we had so much fun taking them.
Twice you drove to the airport in America to pick us up when we arrived from England. You were so thoughtful that you had prepared spaghetti and meat balls for us to eat in the car!
The most memorable thing that you did for us was to put holes in your garden hose, so that we could use it as a sprinkler. We loved running in your garden and getting drenched!
I, Korede, also remember the fights we had over the TV remote in England and Canada. You always wanted to watch ‘Judge Judy’ and I wanted to watch ‘Rubbadubbers’ and ‘Cbeebies’. And the fight we had over a chair at Demilade’s naming ceremony. Great memories!
Grandma, we love you very much and care about you dearly. We pray that you have a wonderful birthday and many more blessed years to come.
You are an awesome grandma, and any boy would be blessed to have you as their grandmother. We are very blessed.
We pray for you all the time that God will continue to strengthen and heal you.
God bless you.
Love From,
Korede and Demilade ☺
Dear Mum,

How well can our words describe and celebrate an indefatigable fighter and disciplinarian like MaJegs who has been an awesome blessing to our family and ministry. She is so much fun to be with, no dull moment with her. Very forthright in her relationships, loves God passionately and wishes that everyone that come in contact with her does same. A woman who is selfless in her love to see marriages and homes glorify God.
We thank God for giving such an invaluable blessing to humanity. She impacts both children and adults wherever she comes in contact with them. She wouldn't pass without leaving a lasting good impression. MaJegs you remain an epistle in our hearts. We love and appreciate you much more; now and always.
MaJegs, The Lord who has been your Savior, Healer, Strength, Shield and Compass from decades past, remains your Guard and Guide in greater years ahead. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Happy Birthday MaJegs

MRS OLAJUMOKE JEGEDE AT 77: TRIBUTE TO A VIRTUOUS WOMAN
Knowing and interacting with Mrs Olajumoke Jegede, her husband, Professor Olukayode Jegede has been a rewarding experience for me, my wife and our family. A woman of virtue, the Proverbs 31 Woman; Mrs Jegede and my wife met first in a meeting of Cosmetologists, in Ibadan; sometime in 1983. An entrepreneur per excellence; Mrs Jegede who is professional Nurse also was one of the foremost cosmetologists in Ibadan when beauty care was in its infancy in Nigeria, bringing to bear her excellent nursing care training in the way she beautifies her hair and beauty care clients.
An excellent companion of her husband and a loving mother of all her children, Mrs Jegede also complements excellently well her husband’s religious activities, making all the efforts at her command to spread the gospel of Christ everywhere the two find themselves. They indeed satisfy Christ’s call in Matthew 5:16 to us all as His disciples to let our light so shine before men that they may see our good work and glorify our Father who is in Heaven. My wife and I as well as all members of our entre family wish Mrs Olajumoke Jegede: an excellent and loving wife and mother; a good friend and mentor, a very happy and lovely 77th birthday in good health with God’s abundant grace for more fruitful years in the land of the living to the glory of God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Matthew 5:9).
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matthew 5:7).
Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. (Psalm 41:1).
"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates." (Proverbs 30:10-31)
"...........for God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Cor. 9:7)
"How blessed is the man who fears the LORD".(Psalm 112:1)
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matt. 24:13).
"Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God." (Psalm 146:5)
Few Thoughts on your 77th Birthday:
Is is tremendous blessing to have 'Aunti' Jumoke as my cousin. She has always been there as support to me and my family (in Nigeria) for as long as I can remember and support to my children too. We thank the Lord for your life and which life has touched numerous people.
We have come a long way 'Aunti'.
Keep on smiling and praising your God.
The Lord indeed is your God.
Many Happy Returns
Lots of love,
Dele Times.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA!!
I love you very much and am so blessed to be a part of your family.
Thank you for loving unconditionally, and for being an example to me of what it means to reflect the love of our Heavenly Father.
I pray that in this year you would continue to experience God's grace, His love, and His healing power, as well as the deepening of your relationship with Him.
1 John 4:7 says "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God," and I am certain that this is true for you. Your love for your family and God's work in your life have shown me time and time again that we serve a God who is faithful!
Many blessings today and in the days to come :)
